Message from the Chair
Today Is Election Day! (And so is every day this week, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, at six of our friendly Larimer County Vote Centers). There is actually an official election day on Tuesday, November 6th, from 7am to 7pm, but there is no reason to wait that long. Vote now. If you have a mail-in-ballot, fill it out and walk it into one of our Early Vote Centers. Stick 65 cents of postage on it, if you'd rather, but send it in now. If you don't have a mail-in-ballot, or if you've decided you want to vote in person, go visit your Vote Center today.
Your Larimer County Democrats are calling and knocking daily in support of all our Democratic Candidates. We are open from 10 in the morning until 8:30 at night. We can always use more callers, knockers, food donations and we're starting our ballot delivery service today. Come on down, call us at 689-6391, or send an email to info@larimerdems.org. Everybody is going to live in the Larimer County that this election will create, so do your part now. --William Russell
"Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has a much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President."
--Barbara Boxer
